Haiti share the same island with the Dominican Republic.

Yet Haiti has an average IQ of 67 while the DR has an average IQ of 82-92 depending in the IQ sources

This manifest in the huge economic & cultural differences between the Mixed Hispanic 🇩🇴 & the Black Afro 🇭🇹
The D.R. has a literacy rate of 98.8%, compared to Haiti’s dismal 60.7%.
The economic gap between the Dominican Republic and Haiti is striking, comparable only to North and South Korea. Today, the DR is about 8 times wealthier than Haiti, while Haiti’s standard of living hasn’t advanced at all since 1950. On top of this the DR already surpassed Brazil & Colombia in GDP per capita.

A “fair” comparison would be between the Dominican Republic & Haiti which both countries shares the same island

The DR🇩🇴 is a relatively prosperous Hispanic euro-Mixed country
&
Haiti🇭🇹 is a failed Black country

The DR is the 4th largest Economy in North America after 🇺🇸 🇨🇦&🇲🇽

The two countries have a drastic racial differences despite being on the same island
Dominicans have been a Hispanic mixed society for over 530 years while Haitians were brought to the west side of the island around 260 years ago.

*Dominican a Thread*

Anti-DR propaganda claim that Dominicans are simultaneously both black & racists towards black ppl which is an oxymoron claim. That Dominicans are historically racists & we were always this way since colonial time. Historical evidence tell us otherwise ⬇️

Contrary to popular belief that “Dominicans were slaves” most Dominicans were white & free mixed with a minority of slaves during 1700’s colonial time. In colonial time Dominicans were:
38,000 White
38,000 Mixed free
15,000 Slaves
2,000 Slaves owners Image
